Was the Golden Age of Enemas just a male phenomenon?

I have chatted with numerous men who are in their mid 50's and up who said they got enemas from their mothers which led to a life long affair with a sexual attraction to getting and giving enemas. But I don't think I have met any women on this site who fall into this same age demographic.

So did the Golden Age of Enemas primarily create male enema lovers or are there any women in this group as well?

I missed YOUR golden age of enemas because I'm only 45. 😁

I would have thought the golden age would have actually been for my parents' generation as children.

"Golden Age" is such a relative term... Different for a kid like Susie and an old fart like me.

Funny, Jds!! I'm STILL laughing!

Never got one as a kid. Do remember a suppository one time and a doze of Fletcher's castoria as a kid. I was always regular and still am to this day. Use an occasional traditional enema for personal pleasure. Never liked fleets enemas and won't use them for any reason, personal or medical.

There was a time when enemas and aspirin were the cure all for most any ailment! Enemas were given at the first sign of a cold or stomach problem. I am sure everyone during that time received their fair share of enemas, and some hated them and always did, some hated them and eventually developed a love of enemas, and some always enjoyed the enemas they received and carried that love through their adult lives. I don't think it's just a male thing!!!

I guess I was raised during the "golden-age" of enema rituals. I know Mom had two enema syringes. One small red bulb syringe and one Rexall Victoria Combination bottle. I received my first enemas from the small red bulb, but Mom graduated me to the bag when I was about 8. I was one that can honestly say that I never did detest any enema. In fact, I loved everyone and as far as I know most of my friends, both male and female, did. Enemas were often a conversation piece during breaks at school. One of my best friends, a female next door neighbor, often described for me in detail the events of her recent enema that her Mother had given her. I think, there are just as many, if not more females of our age, currently involved in the process of taken big, soapy enemas today.

Since I am a 'baby boomer" I probably fall into this category. I got a few small enemas from as early as I can remember. A few times a year and usually needed. I learned quickly that a couple of squirts with the bulb was far more pleasant than the alternate, which was Castoria. When I was ten I got my first enema with a bag. About the same time I began giving myself enemas with the bulb when I had the chance. When we were teens my sister and I both gave ourselves enemas when mom and dad left us home alone, and during summer vacation when they were at work.

So, maybe there are more of you guys in this category, but I bet there are plenty more women like me that also learned to like a good enema during the 60's and 70's.

Anybody agree?

I have to agree with Cheryl. I do believe there many, many women out there who are into enemas, and some in a big way. However, like all things in this world, there is also a stigma of one form or another attached to the process that most of the girls still in the closet are reacting to or better yet not reacting to. They are simply afraid to reach out to others, and that is a shame, because somewhere out there, I know there is another partner I can flow with.

Just a guess, but I think the fact that us male Golden Agers received our childhood our enemas from our moms imprinted us to prefer to get them from females throughout life. The same goes for colonics, though my female therapist has an equal number of women as clients.

Cheryl77177 seems to have put things in perspective. I know my mom took enemas as well as gave more than her share. I never considered that she got any extra benefit from giving or receiving. My older sister was also very familiar with the procedure and likely indulged herself. As kids, my sister and I were often on the receiving end in close proximity to one another. She and I shared some thoughts as youngsters and also talked often with our playmates. They would share information about positions and circumstances as well.

As far as the sensual/sexual benefits, it may be more of a male thing due to prostate stimulation. As far as health benefits and just plain R&R, I suspect that many women might just appreciate those simple pleasures now and then. After all, back in the day, weren't the gals the resident experts in using those wonderful rubber implements? Heaven forbid that C.B. Fleet manages to banish all of those tools forever.
